“In this article, we’re going to showcase yet another Gigabyte-built mobo – the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 – that seemingly out does every other desktop motherboard in a number of key areas.

And did we mention the board is based on NVIDIA’s nForce 680i SLI chipset and has three full length, PCI Express x16 slots for multi-GPU action?”Here are some more Motherboard articles from around the web:

Gigabyte’s GA-N680SLI-DQ6 has everything you would expect from a 680i motherboard.

The testing Hot Hardware put it through proves that this motherboard can compete with any of the other enthusiast class motherboard on the market, both in speed and features.
